Getting account value (Real account)

[Plaket]

Hi,

I am trying to get the account value of my real account.

I have used the script provided by ChelseaB on the next post:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-7/general-development/81423-getaccountvalue-accountitem-cashvalue-no-accurate-results

The thing is that using the next line of code I get the account value of Sim101 account:

Print(string.Format("{0} | Account: {2} | Buying Power: {2} | CashValue: {3}", Time[0], Account.Name, GetAccountValue(AccountItem.BuyingPower), GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue) ));

How can I get the account value of my real account? How should I change the Account.Name parameter?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hello Plaket,

Thank you for your post.

Looks like it'll print the information for whichever account it's running on - so you would need to run this on your live account for it to report information for that account.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thank you,

Another one please, how can I get the list of the open positions on the account?

I know how to get this of a specific strategy, can I get it of the overal account?

Thanks.

Hello Plaket,

Thank you for your reply.

You would need to query all the accounts in the database that you are connected to in order to get any information for them. This is unsupported programming with NinjaTrader 7 but here is a link to get you started:

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi - I am getting 0 on both Sim and Live account -
foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts)
{

Print(acct.Name.ToString() + acct.GetAccountValue(AccountItem.BuyingPower,Curre ncy.UsDollar).ToString());
}
Is this correct - is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

thanks

Hello Mindset,

Thank you for your reply.

While Account access isn't technically supported in NinjaTrader 7, this should work properly for you:

foreach (Account acct in Cbi.Globals.Accounts) {

Print(acct.Name.ToString() + acct.GetAccountValue(AccountItem.BuyingPower,Curre ncy.Unknown).ToString());
}
